Download Hancock's Half Hour 6 AudioBook Free
Tony Hancock's premature death, in 1968 at age 44, deprived the entertainment world of perhaps the greatest post-war comedian to own emerged out of this country.It creates his 80 hours of material at first broadcast by the BBC on radio and television set between 1954 and 1961 appear all the more priceless and rare. Along with his impeccable timing and brilliantly subtle shifts in intonation, he could create sound pictures that bore the unmistakeable hallmark of a genius.Supported by Galton and Simpson's marvellous scripts, which so astutely complemented Hancock's talents, and admirably in the studio by Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Hattie Jaques, Bill Kerr and more, the work of Tony Hancock, here represented by four fine examples, lives on, sustained by a quality that transcends decades of cultural change and which sounds as hilarious now as it did more than 30 years ago.This half hour includes four more great episodes: Almost A Gentleman, Sunday Afternoon at Home, Childhood Sweetheart, and The Elopement.
